Go
right
ahead
,
Dr
.
Harshaw
.
"
Douglas
added
,
"
Protocol
is
dispensed
with
as
of
now
.
Anyone
who
wishes
to
leave
please
feel
free
to
do
so
.
"
No
one
left
.
"
All
right
,
"
Jubal
went
on
.
"
I
can
wrap
it
up
in
one
sentence
.
Mr
.
Smith
wants
to
appoint
you
his
attorney
-
in
-
fact
,
with
full
power
to
handle
all
his
business
affairs
.
Just
that
.
"
Douglas
looked
convincingly
astonished
.
"
That
’
s
a
tall
order
,
Doctor
.
"
"
I
know
it
is
,
sir
.
I
pointed
out
to
him
that
it
was
an
imposition
,
that
you
are
the
busiest
man
on
this
planet
and
didn
’
t
have
time
for
his
affairs
.
"
Jubal
shook
his
head
and
smiled
.
"
I
’
m
afraid
it
didn
’
t
impress
him
–
seems
on
Mars
the
busier
a
person
is
the
more
is
expected
of
him
.
Mr
.
Smith
simply
said
,
‘
We
can
ask
him
.
’
So
I
’
m
asking
you
.
Of
course
we
don
’
t
expect
an
answer
off
hand
–
that
’
s
another
Martian
trait
:
Martians
are
never
in
a
hurry
.
Nor
are
they
inclined
to
make
things
complicated
.
No
bond
,
no
auditing
,
none
of
that
claptrap
–
a
written
power
of
attorney
if
you
want
it
.
But
it
does
not
matter
to
him
;
he
would
do
it
just
as
readily
,
orally
and
right
now
–
Chinese
style
.
That
’
s
another
Martian
trait
;
if
a
Martian
trusts
you
,
he
trusts
you
all
the
way
.
He
doesn
’
t
come
prying
around
to
see
if
you
’
re
keeping
your
word
.
Oh
,
I
should
add
:
Mr
.
Smith
is
not
making
this
request
of
the
Secretary
General
;
he
’
s
asking
a
favor
of
Joseph
Edgerton
Douglas
,
you
personally
.
If
you
should
retire
from
public
life
,
it
would
not
affect
this
in
the
slightest
.
Your
successor
in
office
,
whoever
he
might
be
,
doesn
’
t
figure
in
it
.
It
’
s
you
he
trusts
?
not
just
whoever
happens
to
occupy
the
Octagon
Office
in
this
Palace
.
"
Douglas
nodded
.
"
Regardless
of
my
answer
,
I
feel
honored
?
and
humble
.
"
"
Because
if
you
decline
to
serve
,
or
can
’
t
serve
,
or
do
take
on
this
chore
and
want
to
drop
it
later
,
or
anything
,
Mr
.
Smith
has
his
own
second
choice
for
the
job
–
Ben
Caxton
,
it
is
.
Stand
up
for
a
second
,
Ben
;
let
people
see
you
.
And
if
both
you
and
Caxton
can
’
t
or
won
’
t
,
his
next
choice
is
–
well
,
I
’
ll
guess
we
’
ll
reserve
that
name
for
the
moment
;
just
let
it
rest
that
there
are
successive
choices
.
Uh
,
let
me
see
now
-
"
Jubal
looked
fuddled
-
"
I
’
m
out
of
the
habit
of
talking
on
my
feet
.
Miriam
,
where
is
that
piece
of
paper
we
listed
things
on
?
"
Jubal
accepted
a
sheet
from
her
,
and
added
,
"
Better
give
me
the
other
copies
,
too
-
"
She
passed
over
to
him
a
thick
stack
of
sheets
.
"
This
is
a
little
memo
we
prepared
for
you
,
sir
–
or
for
Caxton
,
if
it
turns
out
that
way
.
Mmm
,
lemme
see
–
oh
yes
,
steward
to
pay
himself
what
he
thinks
the
job
is
worth
but
not
less
than
–
well
,
a
considerable
sum
,
nobody
else
’
s
business
,
really
.
Steward
to
deposit
monies
in
a
drawing
account
for
living
expenses
of
party
of
the
first
part
–
uh
,
oh
yes
,
I
thought
maybe
you
would
want
to
use
the
Bank
of
Shanghai
,
say
,
as
your
depository
,
and
,
say
,
Lloyd
’
s
as
your
business
agent
–
or
maybe
the
other
way
around
–
just
to
protect
your
own
name
and
fame
.
But
Mr
.
Smith
won
’
t
hear
of
any
fixed
instructions
–
just
an
unlimited
assignment
of
power
,
revocable
by
either
side
at
choice
.
But
I
won
’
t
read
all
this
;
that
’
s
why
we
wrote
it
out
-
"
Jubal
turned
and
looked
vacantly
around
.
"
Uh
,
Miriam
–
trot
around
and
give
this
to
the
Secretary
General
,
that
’
s
a
good
girl
.
Urn
,
these
other
copies
,
I
’
ll
leave
them
here
.
You
may
want
to
pass
’
em
out
to
people
?
or
you
may
need
them
yourself
.
Oh
,
I
’
d
better
give
one
to
Mr
.
Caxton
though
–
here
,
Ben
-
"
Jubal
looked
anxiously
around
.
"
Uh
,
I
guess
that
’
s
all
I
have
to
say
,
Mr
.
Secretary
.
Did
you
have
anything
more
to
say
to
us
?
